Just setup my first BTC Node, here are my experiences

With all that's been happening with the CBs, Russia, and inflation, I wanted to setup a node to strengthen the network security. I'm not entirely done yet, but am now running a synced btc core and the sync took ~36 hours. I don't know the exact time it was done because I was asleep.

I used the guide on Raspibolt. Overall the guide is really good. I learned a lot of side things in the process like putty commands, keys, and about tor. There are some areas where I ran into technical issues when configurating my node, when my circumstances must have been different and I had to back track and re-do some steps. But it was fun. The first half I wrote all commands by hand, the second hand (when we got to longer strings including my keys etc) I started copy pasting. Felt I learned less when copy pasting.

Anyway, the first part (up until syncing started) took me about 2 hours (including connecting the rasp pi, imaging the os etc)

Really happy to be doing this now.

Gear: Raspberry Pi 4 8GB + Samsung 1TB T7. 1gb/s isp. Location Europe.

Average tech-savy. Not a programmer, scripter, nor it-admin of any kind.
